Default HID Headlights

I just bought a 2007 SE, it's silver. I'm wondering what kind of HID should I get.
6,000, 8,000, or 10,000?

4300k maximum light output anything higher then 4500K is more for color than anything. the higher the K the more blue/purple it will be. if you want color then go with 12000k

yeah, now i'm kinda leaning towards 6,000. I have 10,000 on my CB7, it's not very bright and i'm not sure if it will actually look good on the SE.

Here is a good picture to show you somewhat how the different temps. will look.



4300k = Stock BMW Color

6000k = In SOME Audi's

8000k = Blue

10000k = Oh snap its a Smurf!

14000k = Purple like your girlfriends eye after she talks back.


Hope this helps.
